People are in the Ark, and they become Gray Shu at the beginning

Now it was Padu's turn to change her expression as she suddenly thought of something. Although she herself was not afraid of this kind of thing, and could even toss it around like a toy, but... she couldn't stop others from being afraid of it!

ps: I stayed up late again. My body is covered with rashes and I have a stomachache. I feel so uncomfortable. I kept revising this chapter, but I still feel that the quality is not good enough. I will find time to revise it tomorrow. The recent plot is also slow to write. I will try to speed it up.

Chapter 31 Cat on the Road

The streets and alleys of the slums are always intricate and complicated, like graves where people can be buried. Even the busiest streets can only be seen through a narrow gap.

Everyone's actions are always quick and purposeful. Those who wander around aimlessly are always looked down upon in the world of the slums.

Apparently, however, there are a few exceptions in today’s slums.

The three members of the Royal Guards Bureau, who had already investigated this neighborhood, were now leaning against a street corner, silently thinking about what to do next.

At this moment, Shi Huaiya was staring at the trash can with a grim expression. Chen was holding a notebook and recording what he had just seen at a very fast speed. He also looked unhappy.

And Xingxiong seemed to have returned to his hometown, leaning steadily against a cement telephone pole covered with small advertisements and recruitment documents with large printed text.

This time, their investigation in this urban area went as smoothly as before. However, they also saw many things they had never seen before in this more chaotic place.

What he saw and heard made Shi Huaiya's hair almost explode.

The stench that filled the house, the vomit containing Originium particles, and the 10-year-old girl who was struggling to survive with her seriously ill parents... and many other people who were struggling on the line between life and death.

Although Shi Huaiya already knew from paper materials that the thief had been helping people in the slums in his own way, information is always just information, and it is far less shocking than seeing it with one's own eyes...

At least she was sure that without the help of the thief's supplies, this family and these people would not have survived for long...

So after witnessing these things with his own eyes, Shi Huaiya was a little unsure about what mood and attitude he should use to investigate the thief's affairs... You know, at this moment, there are quite a few families here who rely on the thief for help to survive.

So, the slums are the place she hates the most...

Shi Huaiya, who was standing aside and subconsciously fiddling with the golden hair beside her ears, suddenly seemed to have made up her mind. She looked up at Xing Xiong and said, "If the Longmen thief is caught, how many people will die in this place this winter?"

"what?"

Hearing this, Xing Xiong was stunned at first, and then she looked at Shi Huaiya with a strange look, and then she began to organize her words silently in her mind. She was thinking about what words to use to describe what she had seen and heard, so as not to appear so cruel.

Then, before Xingxiong could speak, Chen Xian, who was standing beside him, closed his notebook and said coldly, "There has always been a lot of loss of life in Longmen during the winter..."

As soon as the words fell, Chen and Xingxiong suddenly looked at each other, and then as if to confirm something, each of them took a hand of Shi Huaiya, who was in a bad mood, and "guided" her to act.

"Eh?"

Shi Huaiya, who was suddenly approached and sandwiched by two colleagues and forced to move, could not help but let out a small cry of surprise.

However, neither of them explained at this moment. Their long-term cooperation gave them an extraordinary tacit understanding.

So after Xingxiong noticed that the "surveillance" behind her suddenly changed, she began to convey information and confirm with Chen.

Chen also understood Xingxiong's message very tacitly, and after carefully feeling it, he gave confirmation.

It can only be said that as an undercover investigation, being too conspicuous is never a good thing. Unfortunately, except for Xingxiong who can fit in perfectly here, the other two seem a little out of place.

Although the three people noticed that someone was watching them after entering this area, the feeling was vague, so they chose to ignore it for the time being and continue to complete the task, allowing people to follow them and want to see what these guys were trying to do.

but

Just now, the feeling of being monitored became stronger and stronger, accompanied by a strong malice... This made Chen, who had a very accurate intuition, and the experienced Xingxiong give up the plan to stay here any longer, and they grabbed Shi Huaiya, who was not in the right state and had not noticed it, and left.

This time, because he could probably understand and empathize with Shi Huaiya's absent-mindedness, Chen unexpectedly did not say anything to criticize her.

After all, when she first came to the slums, she was not much better than the BBQ Cat... for some reason, her mood was even more complicated.

"So, what happened? Why did you suddenly hold me and walk so fast?" As she said this, Shi Huaiya subconsciously tried to break free from the "restraints" of the two men.

To be honest, Xingxiong was fine, but she didn't want to get so close to a certain plop dragon...

However, before Shi Huaiya could break free, Xing Xiong's soft words in her ear immediately put an end to her thoughts.

"The person who has been following and monitoring us seems to have changed. I don't know if he can no longer hold back or if he has changed people... There were too many people there just now. Let's go to a place with fewer people now."

"..."

After hearing the explanation, Shi Huaiya nodded imperceptibly, then, knowing that he was in the wrong, he stopped resisting and let the two men "sandwich" him and continued to act.

Although she doesn't like it, she is not unreasonable. Since it is a serious matter... then she will naturally cooperate.

Not long after, the three of them arrived at the end of a narrow street at an abandoned construction site. They gradually slowed down their pace and focused their attention behind them, wanting to see how the person following them would react.

However, the result was beyond the three people's expectations. The owner with malicious eyes did not show up, but disappeared instead.

Chen and Xingxiong both frowned when they noticed this, then looked at each other before letting go of Shi Huaiya who had been holding their arms.

Shi Huaiya, who had been walking very fast with her arm around her, almost lost her balance when she was released. She shook herself before speaking, "Can't you give me some mental preparation?"

"Cough cough..."

Xingxiong coughed twice and pinched his throat to say, "Shi Huaiya, are we having guppy fish tonight?"

"Shi Huaiya, we haven't finished watching the movie The Surveillance today, and it seems like someone wants to watch it more than I do. Do you want to play it for him later?"

"Um……"

When Xingxiong finished speaking these two sentences, Shi Huaiya immediately realized that Gubiden was extremely unpalatable, but liked to monitor prey and act as bait. The Monitor was a movie that Longmen played these two days, telling the story of surveillance and anti-surveillance.

Shi Huaiya's face was filled with embarrassment when she recalled her problem. She bared her fangs and said viciously, "Ahhh...Okay, I'll pack the meal when I get home. This time it's on me."

"Barbecued pork rice with three eggs, thank you." A smile appeared on Xingxiong's face.

"Forget it, at least nothing went wrong...but where is this place?" Looking at the unfinished construction site in front of her, Shi Huaiya looked at Xing Xiong with some confusion and asked.

Hearing this, Xingxiong put away his joking expression and explained seriously to the two people beside him: "This place is called Black Street. It's where gang members bury traitors."

"Then what's our next move? The investigation is over. Should we continue to hook the people in the dark, or go back directly?" After listening to Xingxiong's explanation, Shi Huaiya first nodded slightly, and then continued.

Before coming here, the three of them thought that the problem of the last conflict in which police officers were injured was caused by the ordinary people here, but now it seems... there seems to be a deeper reason or a mastermind behind it.

Chen waved his hand and said, "Just go back. We have almost finished the investigation. There is no need to send anyone else here. It doesn't make much sense. Let's try another way."

The other two had no objection to Chen's decision.

However, this time the three people might be disappointed. Because sometimes, monitoring does not necessarily require the use of eyes...

On one side of the narrow alley, in the abandoned corner tower, among the concrete slabs that had collapsed into ruins, the crossbows were already strung.

The sound of crossbows firing broke the silence of the tombstones.

----------------

Meanwhile, in another neighborhood of the slum—

"Hey, Miss Phyllis, don't run so fast!"

At this moment, Ansuo, who was being dragged all the way by Padu, couldn't help but let out a series of "howls".

As for why the two people who were in the restaurant just now suddenly took such urgent action, we have to go back to when they were discussing the guys who were causing the trouble.

Although at the end of the conversation, Paduo did not get a definite answer from Anso on the question "Do they have mineral bombs?", and it was unclear whether the trio had left the slums at the moment, the subtle premonition in her heart still made her take action.

The destination of this trip is the neighborhood where those guys are most active, which An Suo knows...

By the way, Miss Purple Rabbit was very reluctant to lead the way at first, but who could blame her for not being able to withstand someone's money and "majesty"?

ps: This one is over 2600 words. I originally wanted to write 3000 words, but I couldn't write anymore. No charge for less than words, damn it. I haven't recovered completely today, so I will update once for now.

Chapter 32: Crisis and Impending Loss? (A large chapter with over 4000 words)

Although time is always equal to everyone, she sometimes treats those who are less fortunate.

The man bared his fangs.

The cemetery in the black street is not in the form of common tombstones and graveyards. As for the treatment of traitors, the gangs throughout the Longmen slums will not give them such good treatment.

Most of those gang traitors were built into the walls or foundations of unfinished buildings. Xingxiong watched the black street being built step by step.

Because of this, she, who is familiar with this place, also knows one of its "characteristics".

I don't know if it's because of the special location here or some other reason, but when the wind blows through the unfinished buildings on Heijie Street, the sound is always like a ghost calling for life, which is creepy. This phenomenon was later gradually spread among people as the cry of the traitors buried here.

Because of this reason, gang members are generally unwilling to come here if there is nothing to do, as they are afraid of being tainted by bad luck. Ordinary people are also not used to it and don't dare to come here, after all, the environment and atmosphere here always seem a bit creepy.

So as time went by, the black street was no longer inhabited or guarded.

Knowing this, Xingxiong brought his two friends and colleagues here. Just to test the people following behind, this is definitely a perfect place.

But unfortunately, after arriving at this uninhabited place, not only did he fail to lead people out, but he also made Xingxiong, a know-it-all in the slums, re-acquaint himself with this place that was supposed to be uninhabited.

……

'We were attacked!'

It only took a moment for Xingxiong and Chen to realize this.

The sound of the wind would mask the sound of bows and crossbows breaking through the air, and the whistling sound brought by the wind would always be mixed with the smell of coal ash from the nearby incinerator, which would render the powerful sense of smell of some races ineffective.

What is even more troublesome is that the black street only has an entrance and an exit.

If someone wants to jump from the edge of the ruins, the illegal buildings will let those who are brave enough experience the malice in the slums.

"Raise your shield!"

As a member of the dragon clan, Chen sensed the hidden arrows in the ruins with her intuition, patted Xingxiong, and forced Xingxiong to turn to the defensive side. Then she turned her back beautifully and used Chixiao's scabbard to block the crossbow arrows that were shot at her.

Even though these crossbow arrows were blocked, the remaining force still penetrated two points of the earth wall.

A moment later, it was proved that Chen's judgment was obviously completely correct. In just a short period of time, Xingxiong's shield blocked at least four crossbow arrows. If it weren't for the fact that the performance of "Prajna" far exceeded that of other shields, Shi Huaiya who was hiding beside her would probably have died on the spot.

While Xingxiong carefully protected the people around her from hidden attacks, her battlefield sense as a senior inspector also allowed her to quickly detect unfavorable situations.

There were almost no safe shelters at the scene, and the three of them had not yet figured out the source of the crossbow arrows.

"Old Chen, build a bunker."

As soon as he finished speaking, Xingxiong held the shield in one hand and dragged Shi Huaiya with the other hand and ran towards the wall. During this process, an enemy wanted to shoot at the calves of the two with a crossbow, but they were successfully blocked by the little tiger holding the chain hammer.

As the two were moving, Chen also moved quickly.

Taking advantage of the enemy's pause in shooting, she took a deep breath, drew her sword and slashed at the wooden tripod of an unfinished building. The sharp Chi Xiao only took a moment to cut off the main pole as big as a bowl. The perfect force made the huge tripod fall towards the three people, and then they were turned into a simple shelter at a corner of the black street.

In this way, Chen Shengsheng built a shelter in the open space, relying on the wall and the collapsed scaffolding. Then, taking advantage of the gap when everyone's attention was attracted by the collapse of the scaffolding, she quickly jumped into the shelter.

Behind the bunker——

After taking a short breath, Chen and Xingxiong looked at each other, then turned their gazes to Shi Huaiya.

"As an expert in on-site police dispatch, Shi Huaiya, do you have any ideas?" Chen quickly summarized the situation and asked Shi Huaiya first.

In terms of fighting, she no longer counts on the BBQ Cat. Please, compared to the combat effectiveness of the strange weapons, their appearance is more threatening.

Given the characteristics of the chain hammer, Chen didn't expect her to play any role in this kind of escape battle.

"Pujielong, I can see that very rude look in your eyes. You can just say it out loud." After noticing someone looking at her, Shi Huaiya spoke unhappily.

As she spoke, her head was inadvertently exposed outside the shelter. Then, in the next moment, a crossbow arrow shot straight at her head amid the whistling wind.

Chen He and Xingxiong who noticed this quickly pushed Shi Huaiya back into the shelter, thus narrowly avoiding the crossbow arrow.

Looking at the arrow that was so close, stuck on the wooden pole, with its feather tail still trembling, Xingxiong couldn't help but frowned slightly, and then looked at it carefully.

After seeing the arrow's tail piercing the wood, she couldn't help shrinking her pupils in surprise, and then she cursed: "Longmen swearing, Originium arrowhead, the emergency action code needs to add a rule."

After hearing Xingxiong's words, the two people beside him were shocked at first, but they quickly forced themselves to calm down and continued to do what they should do.

After a moment, Shi Huaiya observed the terrain and immediately told the two people beside him his conclusion:

"In the gourd-shaped area, we are in the front street. There is a narrow passage in the middle that only allows two people to pass through. This way we can leave from the back street exit.

open. "

"The crossbow arrows just now came in from the entrance. It must be blocked. We must not go straight in the narrow road next. We need to open a path from the side. Xingxiong, I'll leave the support and clearing the way for you."

After listening to Shi Huaiya's instructions, Xingxiong nodded in understanding.

As a member of the special inspection team, she knew very well that there was no need for too much questioning during this period of coordination and cooperation, and she should just give her brain a good rest when she could.

Not only Xingxiong, but Chen also in a sense likes working with Shi Huaiya, of course, on the premise that they don't quarrel.

The reason is that when encountering problems or crises, Shi Huaiya can always analyze the situation very quickly and plan in his mind what to do next. Others only need to be responsible for execution and filling in the gaps.

When it comes to analyzing layout and command, even Chen had to admit Shi Huaiya's excellent abilities.

"Finally, Pujielong, you can play baseball, right?" As Shi Huaiya spoke, she searched for a few stones of similar regular shape among the debris on the wall.

After hearing these words and looking at her behavior, Chen immediately understood what she meant.

"So……"

Shi Huaiya put on a confident smile on her face, raised her index, middle and ring fingers, and signaled to Xingxiong and Chen.
